About Lost Winds Brewing Company

San Clemente locals Tim Thralls, Andrew Mack and Tim Burke, founded Lost Winds Brewing Company on the idea that thoughtfully made craft beer can appeal to the masses – from casual beer drinkers that enjoy lighter ales to craft beer enthusiasts seeking hoppy IPAs, sours, stouts, saisons, and barrel-aged beers. We are excited to introduce you to our line-up with a focus on Belgian style beers.

 

Lost Winds Brewing Company is located halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego, in a small beach town known as "the Spanish Village by the Sea". San Clemente has long been an idyllic place to surf world class breaks and hit the beach with friends. Tim Thralls, our managing partner and award winning home brewer, together with Brandon Winneker, our classically trained head brewer and Seahawks Junky are now helping to make San Clemente a world-class craft beer destination as well. [MEET THE CREW]

 

YES, WE KNOW IT’S CALLED “LASUEN”.

 

The ocean and the history of our California beach community are central components of Lost Winds Brewing Company. Our brewery is named after a local surf break and beach, Lost Winds, which many don't realize is named after a loose pronunciation of the street that leads to the staircase to Lost Winds Beach, “Calle Lasuen". Lost Winds, LW, Lasuens... all the same beach. Padre Fermin Francisco de Lasuen himself was a Franciscan Priest and successor of Saint Junipero Serra. He founded nine of the iconic missions up and down the coast of California; and he is even responsible for introducing the classic Spanish adobe style ubiquitous around town and at all California missions.

 

Good surf, a classic beach community, a little bit of California history, and now great beer. We love where we live and can’t wait to see you at Lost Winds Brewing Company!

This week we had eight great teams, some new and of course those who keep coming back for more. We even had one come all the way from Riverside in hopes to make it into the League Play. Wishing you the best “Flying Chanclas.“ 

 

Our musical beer shot round seemed to please the masses. Congrats to the ladies of “Pomf“ for winning it all! Special thanks to our little helper for reading out the answers on round five, always fun to have the kids get involved. 

 

Those double downs came in handy for Dry this week as they launched themselves into first right from the start but were surpassed by Lager Than Life soon after. We like seeing Lager start to become real contenders in this game, you guys are killing it! 

 

Dry did win the night in the end and I’m sure the Moist team is getting a little anxious to come back and play, hope to see you next week guys!

 

Looking forward to more Tacos and Trivia next Tuesday.

Cheers!

Another great Tuesday was had this week, and it’s all because of you smart and silly people. Special shout-out and a big welcome back to team Terd Furgeson. You guys were missed! It’s always fun seeing teams return after a long two years away. Damn you, Pandemic!

Despite some technical difficulties, a great game was had. We enjoyed watching you all show off your nerf gun skills for our free beer round. It may have taken a while, but witnessing the retired police officer show off his skills by shooting down four targets the fastest was epic. Well done, sir!

Be prepared for even more shenanigans next week, and thank you for always bringing the good energy.

See you next TUESDAY!

Quite the vibe this week!

We had a good amount of new and returning teams. Shout out to Dingleberries and Lager Than Life for spreading the cheer all the way from the back of the brewery.

Our free beer was definitely a hit. We had each team make a paper airplane and fly it from the second level. Team Moist won the competition by having flown the longest distance, right to the bar! However, we all thought that Sophie deserved a free beer shot for her impressive accuracy in hitting our guest judge, John the beertender. 

Trivia this week was also full of great questions and challenging rounds. We were happy everyone could answer the “shaka” question correctly when we ironically displayed it for you while asking. It was also hilarious to have a group of grown men double down successfully on a My Little Pony-themed round. Apparently, we have a few “bronies” among our crowd. Well done Teams Dry & Moist for taking the top two prizes!

Thanks for coming out everyone, and remember to bring your squad next week for more fun!
